Re: 2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Is it right for me to go get some B pot guys on free agency? Is it fair or realistic?

Re: 2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

I successfully went back to th 2012 offseason and accomplished what I set out to do. I still need some suggestions relating to where to deal frenchy.

5 man rotation
Edwin Jackson
Dan Duffy
Luke Hochevar
Mike Montgomery
Jake Odorizzi

Wouldn't mind an upgrade for my 5th starter. ANy pitchers I could go after for Frenchy?

Starting 9
C - Perez
1 - Hosmer
2 - Cuthbert (20 year old 3rd baseman converted to second base)
3 - Moustakas
SS - Escobar
LF - Gordon
CF - Cain
RF - Myers
DH - Butler

Bench-
Dyson (base stealer)
Dominic Brown
Chris Getz

what were Frenchy's stats in 2012? and what teams can use him?

I don't see a problem. I personally like to pick up Joel Zumaya. Great RP if your bullpen needs help.

Re: 2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Frenchy had an average season. Defensively he is gold. I just want to make room for Myers

Re: 2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Not in front of the game for the stats. I was looking at Garrett Richards from LA but he is young too.

Re: 2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

So, I made the LA-Boston mega deal, I'm taking control of Boston and want to continue the rebuild. Idk who all I will want to move yet, and I'm not moving all of these players but what could I expect in return for these guys? I'm just starting the season, so later in June/July I will be giving stats for the players I really want to move.

SP John Lackey B/B 33
SP Jon Lester B/B 28
SP Daisuke Matsuzaka B/B 31
CP Alfredo Aceves B/B 29
C Kelly Shoppach C/C 31
SS Mike Aviles C/C 30
CF Jacoby Ellsbury B/A 28
RF Cody Ross B/B 31

Also, What RP with B or A potentials would be realistic targets? Boston's bullpen is dreadful.

let us know their stats and contracts when ur ready to trade them...it'd be easier to gage their value

Will do, I'm just playing home games the first season to get a feel for the players.

Re: 2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Ok I got Impatient after a few games, sim'd to late July. Here's who I'm considering moving:

SP Jon Lester: 10-6, 3.75 era, 124.2 ip, 151 so, 48 bb
RP Craig Breslow: 3-0, 3.88 era, 51 ip, 44 so, 17 bb
CP Alfredo Aceves: 1-2, 1 save, 2.56 era, 56.1 ip, 53 so, 17 bb
C Kelly Shoppach: .320 avg, 10 hr, 36 RBI, .359 OBP, .514 slg, 15 bb, 77 so
2B Dustin Pedroia: .231 avg, 6 hr, 30 RBI, .285 OBP, 27 bb, 83 so, 13 SB
SS Mike Aviles: .231 avg, 1 hr, 9 RBI, .280 OBP, perfect fielding
RF Cody Ross: .302 avg, 16 hr, 47 RBI, .367 OBP, 31 bb
RF Ryan Sweeney: .335 avg, 30 RBI, .376 OBP, 17 bb, 56 so .965 field

I'm really not out of the play offs, but it would take a good but of luck to make it, I'd rather re-tool for the next few years. I'm really looking to target pitchers and find a superstar of the future for the team. I'm still not sure if Middlebrooks is my 3B of the future or not. I'd be willing to give up a lot for a young MLB ready star as well if any are realistically available.

Teams with no shot of the play offs:
Orioles 27 gb
Indians 14.5
Royals 20.5
Twins 23
Mariners 14
Marlins 10
Phillies 12
Cubs 15.5
Pirates 18.5
Astros 28.5 (still under 30 wins!)
Padres 20.5
Rockies 22

Re: 2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Hey, I traded for CC Sabathia earlier in the year, which made one of my end-of-the-rotation starters expendable. I want to get some prospects back that I lost in the Sabathia deal (especially some bullpen prospects), so who has more value?

SP Vance Worley (4-2, 3.84 ERA, 1.30 WHIP) - Got relegated to bullpen
SP Tommy Hanson (6-3, 3.00 ERA, 1.00 WHIP)

Hanson's been pretty inconsistent even though his ERA doesn't suggest it. He's gotten SHELLED in his 3 losses. But I would be open to trading either.

I could also be talked into trading Trevor Cahill, but I would rather not. His stats are 2-6, 4.19 ERA, 1.27 WHIP
